Mr. Speaker. the next slide that I want my colleagues to focus in on now is really the kind of a passport that we are wanting. and that U.S. VISIT. and indeed the law in regard to the visa waiver program that was made permanent in 2000 requires them to have this type of passport because let me make one thing perfectly clear to my colleagues. The visa waiver program trusts the security of our Nation to the background check capabilities and the passport procedures of all these foreign governments. the 27 countries that I mentioned and expanding all the time. Basically. what were saying. and if you will look at this next slide. on one side of the passport would be a digital photograph. again. one that is scannable. We have these iris scans. not just the oldfashioned finger prints. but everything in a digital way. including the photograph on the passport.
